Hideyoshi Toyotomi

Second of the Three Unifiers. Unlike his real and Samurai Warriors counterparts he is depicted as a giant man whose ambition is to rule all of Japan and form it into a formidable prospering nation which causes him to declare Nobunaga as a source of chaos that must be annihilated. Even though he has good intentions he is drunk with power and will use any means no matter how ruthless to achieve it though he is still charismatic and caring to his subordinates unlike Motonari. With just his bare hands he can destroy an entire platoon in just seconds. His weapons are his hands which can be strengthened with magical arm guards. Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes reveals that he used to be friends with Keiji and was sane joining Keiji in making pranks here and there before the hunger for power fueled by being humiliated by Matsunaga Hisahide corrupted him into the man he is in Sengoku Basara 2. Its even hinted that he killed his historical wife in Keijis story to achieve more power. Toyotomi Hideyoshi ? February 2 1536 September 18 1598 was a daimyo in the Sengoku period who unified Japan. He succeeded his former liege lord Oda Nobunaga and brought an end to the Sengoku period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period named after Hideyoshis castle. He is noted for a number of cultural legacies including the restriction that only members of the samurai class could bear arms. Hideyoshi is regarded as Japans second great unifier.1
